RADIOACTIVE GUY <\/p>\n

Well I am just a radioactive guy,
\nWatching bombs fall from the sky.
\nAnd even though my skin may burn,
\nGo ahead Putin and take your turn.<\/p>\n

Come on now boys, let’s have a war,
\nLet’s be macho like never before.
\nBring out the guns, and your tanks,
\nLet’s get fodder to fill our ranks.<\/p>\n

Don’t back down, you’ve got pride,
\nSo grab your jet and go for a ride.
\nOh look now, all my hair fell out,
\nBut that’s what nukes are all about.<\/p>\n

Poison the water and poison the air,
\nWe’re all gonna die so I don’t care.
\nHa! Gosh darn! I’m startin’ to glow!
\nThis old life I’m just about to blow.<\/p>\n

Now before I go and just disappear,
\nLet me whisper a word in your ear.
\nGod hates violence, and all war,
\nNo matter what you are fighting for.<\/p>\n

Be peacemakers is what He said,
\nBut it seems you’d rather be dead.
\nIs it worth taking a piece of land?
\nStop now before it\u2018s out of hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
